That's a good point to make.  One of the only reasons I was able to make 
the first adapter so quickly (nevermind the 5.5 hours of debugging 
afterwards) was b/c I had in my little box of serial joy the notes which 
mapped the RJ45 pin numbers to the modular plug colors.

Those LED debuggers really make a difference.
